Finally, the office! (Day 12)

Today (well, yesterday...I wrote half the post then had to go to the laundry mat because our dryer broke), I braved the office.  It's totally overwhelming, totally overflowing, an (along with the garage) totally embarassing.

Let's start with the books.  I have a book addiction, and I hate getting rid of them.  I was so glad to get a kindle for Christmas...at least my book fetish won't be taking up any more space in my house!  Even better, I won't have to move any new books I get...


But that doesn't change the fact that I already have a million books.  Four years of college, including a minor in History of Ideas (AKA philosophy and literature had a baby), six years of grad school, coving boh psychology and theology....Just the text books take up a ton of room.  Plus I love to read for fun, so I have those books...add in my husband's text books, and we have a bit of a problem.


 All of those pictures were taken AFTER I pulled out books to donate.  Yes, we have a book problem all up in here.
Today's bin: done.  Tomorrow: more books.  I'm hoping to get it to the point where I can fit them all on the white bookshelf and the one in the closet.  And then when I have an office someday at work, take half of them there.  I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....

  1. you can! I'm a librarian by trade and I'm living proof that you *can* survive with a love of books and just two bookcases. Remember, you don't have to own everything. You can always pick up a copy at the library, or on your kindle, or on google books. Let the library do the collecting for you!
